Abstract

Changes in the world’s education system and new conditions for the existence of the education system have radically affected the infrastructure of education institutions. Many legal acts, conferences, publications, etc. are devoted to its changes. Much less attention has been paid to such a crucial element of the education system, which sets spatial, substantive, aesthetic and programmatic norms of life activities, which is a link between education and the human community, as architecture. Teachers, speaking about the role of the environment in education, rarely pay attention to architecture. Nevertheless, the space of the kindergarten has a significant impact on the creation of the environment. In different historical periods, there were different views on where children should be, what kind of education they should receive and who should provide it. Depending on the era, the answers to these questions differed significantly. The author focuses on modern trends in the construction of kindergartens and schools, the risks that arise in the construction of standard buildings and shows what requirements should the space of a modern kindergarten meet, reveals how changes in education generate new trends in architecture.
